Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Mohekar et al. (2002) lists this species as collected from the west coast of Maharashtra, India; no literature citation was given. The generic name was mispelled in the paper as "Laceanicephalum". Extensive literature searches indicate that this name was never published; it is thus considered to be a nomen nudum, unavailable for nomenclatural purposes.
